THE KING’S BUSINESS arid covers much the same ground as was covered by some of the addresses at Eos Angeles and at the other conferences. Many prominent Christians testify to the fact that they received a greater definite, personal blessing at these various conferences than they have ever received before at any other conference. We expect to give through the year a full report of some of the addresses delivered at the Los Angelés Conference. The Conference in Chicago was under the auspices of the Moody Bible Institute; the Conference in Minneapolis was under the auspices of the North western Bible School; the Conference in Los Angeles was under the auspices of the Los Angeles Bible Institute. On the last day of the Chicago Conference the Resolutions Committee brought in the following Statement of Faith, which was unanimously adopted by a rising vote, 2000 people rising to their feet and joining in singing, in this connection, “Praise God from WhomAll Blessings Flow.” THE STATE MENT OF FAITH is as follows: , 1. We believe that the Bible is the Word and revelation of God and therefore our only authority. 2. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, that He is very God “by Whom and for Whom all thinngs were created.” 3. We believe in His virgin birth, that He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and is therefore God manifested in the flesh. 4. We believe in salvation by divine sacrifice, that the Son of God gave His life a ransom for many and bore our sins in His own body on the tree. 5. We believe in His physical resurrection from the dead and in His bodily presence at the right hand of God as our Priest and Advocate. 6. We believe in the universality and heinousness of sin, and in salvation by Grace, not by works lest any man should boast; that Sonship with God is attained only by regeneration by the Holy Spirit and faith in Jesus Christ. 7. We believe in the personality and deity of 'the Holy Spirit, Who came down Upon, earth on the day of Pentecost to indwell believers and to be the administrator in the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, also being here to reprove the -world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment. 8. We believe in the great commission which our Lord has given to His church to evangelize the world, and that this evangelization is the great mission of the church. 9. We believe in the second, visible and imminent coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ to establish His world-wide kingdom on the earth. 10. We believe in a heaven of eternal bliss for the righteous, and in the con scious and eternal punishment of the Wicked. Furthermore, we exhort the people of God in all denominations throughout this land to stand by these great truths, so much rejected in our days, and to contend earn estly for the faith which our God has, in His Holy Word, delivered unto the saints. The Committee consisted o f: Robert M. Russell, D. D .; Canon F. E. Howitt, M. A .; R. A. Torrey, D. D .; A. C. Gaebelein and L. W. Munhall, D. D.
